Hello there. I'm new at these forums and new to the whole live recording. i mainly attend rock concerts in small/medium size venues. i'm looking for a high quality mic that'll get me nice recordings without sounding awful. I have mode one recording, but the vocals were far too loud for the poor Sony mic and it turned out pretty rough. i've heard a lot about Green machine and his mics, so got in touch with him. he recommended his battery module and mics. i am on a budget so if i got the battery module, i'd have to go with his 'standard' mic. i've also checked out Church-Audio's auctions on eBay. if i can nail a bid for $79.99 (and shipping of $39.99 to Europe) that'd be just within my budget. here's the auction: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STEREO-MICROPHONES-P...ShippingPayment what i really need to know is who's mics/battery's are going to be better for my recording? that church-audio package and the standard+battery module from Gm work out at the same price... if anyone has got sample recordings of each of these mics/battery's, that'd be really cool (but just your opinions would be greatly appreciated!) thanks guys
